European Medicines Agency's CHMP Recommends Approval for Pfizer and BioNTech's LP.8.1-Adapted COVID-19 Vaccine for Ages 6 Months and Older

Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE have announced that the European Medicines Agency's $(EMA)$ Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use $(CHMP)$ has recommended marketing authorization for their LP.8.1-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine, COMIRNATY® LP.8.1, for active immunization in individuals aged 6 months and older. This recommendation is based on evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of the vaccine, which targets the LP.8.1 variant to maintain vaccine effectiveness as SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve. The European Commission is expected to make a final decision soon. Pfizer and BioNTech have already started manufacturing the vaccine to ensure readiness for the upcoming fall and winter season.
